Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that going on board ship he sat in the sea, and all the crowd were close to the sea on the land.
Zvino wakatangazve kudzidzisa parutivi rwegungwa; kukaungana kwaari chaunga chikuru zvekuti wakapinda muchikepe akagara mugungwa; uye chaunga chese chakange chiri pagungwa panyika.
2 And he taught them many things in parables. And he said to them in his doctrine,
Akavadzidzisa zvinhu zvizhinji nemifananidzo, akati kwavari padzidziso yake:
3 Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow.
Inzwai; tarirai, mukushi wakabuda kunokusha.
4 And it came to pass as he sowed, one fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.
Zvino zvakaitika pakukusha, imwe yakawira parutivi rwenzira; shiri dzekudenga dzikauya dzikaidya dzikaipedza.
5 And another fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprung up out [of the ground] because it had no depth of earth;
Asi imwe yakawira panzvimbo dzine mabwe, payakange isina ivhu zhinji; pakarepo ikamera, nokuti yakange isina udziku hwevhu;
6 and when the sun arose it was burnt up, and because of its not having any root, it withered.
asi zuva rakati rabuda, yakapiswa, uye nokuti yakange isina mudzi, yakasvava.
7 And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Uye imwe yakawira paminzwa, minzwa ikakura ikaivhunga, ikasabereka chibereko.
8 And another fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and bore, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
Uye imwe yakawira muvhu rakanaka; ikabereka chibereko chakakura ikawedzera, ikabereka, imwe makumi matatu, neimwe makumi matanhatu, neimwe zana.
9 And he said, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Ndokuti kwavari: Ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
10 And when he was alone, those about him with the twelve asked him [as to] the parables.
Zvino wakati ava ega, vakange vakamukomba nevanegumi nevaviri vakamubvunza zvemufananidzo.
11 And he said to them, To you is given [to know] the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them who are without, all things are done in parables,
Uye akati kwavari: Kwamuri kwakapiwa kuziva chakavanzika cheushe hwaMwari; asi kune avo vari kunze, zvese zvinoitwa nemifananidzo;
12 that beholding they may behold and not see, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest it may be, they should be converted and they should be forgiven.
kuti vachiona vaone asi varege kuonesesa, vachinzwa vanzwe asi vasinganzwisisi, zvimwe chero nguva varege kutendeuka, vakanganwirwe zvivi.
13 And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? and how will ye be acquainted with all the parables?
Zvino akati kwavari: Hamuzivi mufananidzo uyu here? Zvino muchaziva sei mifananidzo yese?
14 The sower sows the word:
Mukushi unokusha shoko.
15 and these are they by the wayside where the word is sown, and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Zvino ava ndivo veparutivi rwenzira, apo panokushwa shoko, uye kana vachirinzwa, pakarepo Satani anouya ndokubvisa shoko rakakushwa mumoyo yavo.
16 And these are they in like manner who are sown upon the rocky places, who when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
Uye saizvozvo ava ndivo vakakushwa panzvimbo dzine mabwe, ivo kana vanzwa shoko, pakarepo vanorigamuchira nemufaro,
17 and they have no root in themselves, but are for a time: then, tribulation arising, or persecution on account of the word, immediately they are offended.
asi havana mudzi mavari, asi ndevenguva; pashure kana matambudziko kana kushushwa zvichiuya nekuda kweshoko, pakarepo vanogumburwa.
18 And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,
Zvino ava ndivo vanokushwa muminzwa, vanonzwa shoko,
19 and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
asi kufunganya kwenyika ino nekunyengera kwefuma neruchiva pamusoro pezvimwe zvinhu zvichipinda, zvichivhunga shoko, rova risingabereki. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they who have been sown on the good ground, such as hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit; one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred [fold].
Naava ndivo vakakushwa muvhu rakanaka, ndivo vanonzwa shoko, ndokugamuchira, vagobereka chibereko, umwe makumi matatu, uye umwe makumi matanhatu, uye umwe zana.
21 And he said to them, Does the lamp come that it should be put under the bushel or under the couch? [Is it] not that it should be set upon the lamp-stand?
Zvino wakati kwavari: Mwenje unouiswa kuti uiswe pasi pedengu kana pasi pemubhedha here? Kwete kuti uiswe pachigadziko chemwenje here?
22 For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; nor does any secret thing take place, but that it should come to light.
Nokuti hapana chakavigwa chisingazovhundunurwi, kana chakachengetwa chakavanda, asi kuti zvibude pachena.
23 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
Kana munhu ane nzeve dzekunzwa, ngaanzwe.
24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be meted to you; and there shall be [more] added to you.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Chenjererai zvamunonzwa; nechiyero chamunoyera nacho chichayerwa kwamuri, nekwamuri imwi munonzwa, chichawedzerwa.
25 For whosoever has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even what he has shall be taken from him.
Nokuti ani nani anacho achapiwa; asi asina achatorerwa kunyange nechaanacho.
26 And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth,
Zvino akati: Hwakadaro ushe hwaMwari, sezvinonzi munhu anokusha mbeu muvhu.
27 and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how.
Zvino orara nekumuka usiku nemasikati, mbeu inomera ichikura iye asingazivi kuti sei.
28 The earth bears fruit of itself, first [the] blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear.
Nokuti ivhu rinozviberekera chibereko pacharo, pakutanga chipande, pashure hura, pashure zviyo zvakakora pahura.
29 But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.
Asi kana chibereko chaibva, pakarepo anotuma jeko nokuti kukohwa kwasvika.
30 And he said, How should we liken the kingdom of God, or with what comparison should we compare it?
Zvino wakati: Tichafananidza nei ushe hwaMwari? Kana tingahuenzanisa nemuenzaniso upi?
31 As to a grain of mustard [seed], which, when it is sown upon the earth, is less than all seeds which are upon the earth,
Setsanga yemasitadha, iyo kana ichidzvarwa muvhu, idikisa kumbeu dzese dzepanyika;
32 and when it has been sown, mounts up and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces great branches, so that the birds of heaven can roost under its shadow.
asi kana yadzvarwa, inokura ichiva huru kumiriwo yese, ichiita matavi makuru zvekuti shiri dzekudenga dzinogona kuvakira pasi pemumvuri wawo.
33 And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear,
Zvino nemifananidzo mizhinji yakadaro wakataura shoko kwavari, sepavaigona kunzwa napo.
34 but without a parable spoke he not to them; and in private he explained all things to his disciples.
Asi kunze kwemufananidzo haana kutaura kwavari; asi vava vega, wakadudzira vadzidzi vake zvese.
35 And on that day, when evening was come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side:
Zvino nezuva iro ava madekwani, wakati kwavari: Ngatiyambukire mhiri.
36 and having sent away the crowd, they take him with [them], as he was, in the ship. But other ships also were with him.
Vakarega chaunga chichienda, vakaenda naye akangodaro muchikepe. Zvino kwaivawo nemamwe magwa naye.
37 And there comes a violent gust of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it already filled.
Zvino kwakamuka dutu guru remhepo, mafungu akazvirovera muchikepe, zvekuti chakange zvino chozadzwa.
38 And he was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him up and say to him, Teacher, dost thou not care that we are perishing?
Asi iye wakange ari shure muchikepe arere pamutsago; vakamumutsa, vakati kwaari: Mudzidzisi, hamuna hanya kuti toparara here?
39 And awaking up he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Silence; be mute. And the wind fell, and there was a great calm.
Akamuka akatsiura mhepo, akati kugungwa: Nyarara, gadzikana! Mhepo ikamira, kukava nekudzikama kukuru.
40 And he said to them, Why are ye [thus] fearful? how [is it] ye have not faith?
Ndokuti kwavari: Munotyirei zvakadaro? Hamuna rutendo sei?
41 And they feared [with] great fear, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Vakatya nekutya kukuru, vakati umwe kune umwe: Zvino ndiani uyu, kuti kunyange mhepo negungwa zvinomuteerera?
